The World Trade Center has been attacked!!!

[Stazbumpa]

Well fuck me.
I cant believe I was fucking there like 7 days ago for christs sake.
Stood next to the fucking towers for gods sake. A friend of mine married an american girl and lives in Long Island now, but he works about 6 blocks north of the WTC.
He got off the underground station at saw loads of people looking up at the sky and thought 'fuck me, that buildings on fire'.

This was before the second plane hit. He was at his desk by then and heard the bang, went to the window and saw the fire and debris, but nearly everybody else in his building was on the roof watching the chaos.
He went back to his desk and then heard a rumbling a bit later.
He went to the window again and saw people running away screaming, he says it was like watching Independance Day or something. The rumbling was the south tower collapsing.
He decided to leave after that.

Thanks to my recent job I got a load of other mates in New York, all within shouting distance of WTC. They're all ok, thank god, but they all know people who are pretty fucking far from ok right now.

It seems that this Bin Laden character is probably the culprit as he has a fucking shitload of money and a shitload of nutcase followers. Question: can this mans money not be frozen under international law or something?
He can't keep the estimated 100 million he has under the mattress can he? I may be wrong.

But what happens next? To say that this was carried out by the minority appears to be bollox coz the sick fuckers were dancing in the streets of Jerusalem for fucks sake. The majority of the Middle East / Muslim world, or the non political parts of it anyway, seems to be right behind this attack and if so then the gloves are off now.
I hope that the US finds out who did this and then fucks them up good and proper. Bollox to diplomacy, put a bullet in their head and the heads of those that would follow them.
And I dont think that there will be any further plane hijackings from now on without a fucking bloodbath on board as 100+ passengers think 'fuck this' and try and rip apart the hijackers themselves. After Tuesdays events, what would they have to lose?

But something has to be done because this attack could've been directed anywhere. The line has been way overstepped now and as I said before, the gloves are off. Something has to give, and it wont be the Western powers. I hope the response is quick, carefully planned but fucking lethal. I do not want to see innocent people killed in a retaliation but, to play devils advocate, those "innocents" seem more than happy to watch other innocents burn and fall screaming to the ground and then rejoice in it.

Anyway, its all too much to handle. It pains me because I was there not very long ago and I have good friends who are still there and are suffering.

And some ask why Australia doesn't want a boatload of Afghan "refugees" in their country.



On a lighter note, my girlfriend of 4 years decided to fuck around with someone else while I was away.

Shit, man, you've had a bad welcome home. What can I say? The WTC attack is so big, I suppose I still can't comprehend it happened. Jesus.
And if she decided to do that to you, she doesn't deserve you. End of story.

 

[Moving Target]

oh dear...bad start eh

 

[Testin da Cable]

good god Staz, that sucks m8
I feel with you tho, I also resumed bachelor status since tuesday.

 

[Will]

It's that time of year, I guess.

 

[old.Tichinde]

This has totally knocked me sideways. This catastrophe has made such an impact on me and I am just beyond words to describe my feelings about it all. I can not imagine the horror that people close to the incident are feeling... but as an observer watching the news etc, I am mortified.

At the moment I just feel disgust, fear and hate towards the people responsible. It would not be appropriate for me to say what I would like done to the people who have committed this evil act, but I just hope that more innocents will be dragged into this.

What scares me is that my wife has just gave birth to my first son and I wonder what sort of world I have bought him into. We are supposed to be a civilised world, bought out of the dark ages, but sometimes I wonder how far the human race has really come that it can just have such a disregard for human life.

Re:

Supposedly building 5 is going to collapse now?
Man, I'm still shocked over it all..

And I agree with ItchyTrigga... Assuming you don't mess around on her, you don't deserve that from a 4 year relationship.

i dunno why but that reminds me of that movie 'How to Murder Your Wife'

 

[old.ignus]

Apparantly my friend in Texas had her whole town evacuated.

You realise if this does end up being a full on world war 3 without the use of nukes, then we'll probably all get called up. I personally have always wanted to join up but have never had the guts to go through the training, that would be the kick up the arse I need. :touch: Death to the ragheads.

oh and Staz I know shes my sister, but you're better off without the bitch
Me feels for you :strokehea

 

[Stazbumpa]

*sniff* you guys are the best *sniff*

and how the hell do you get those extra smileys ignus??

rofl @ the me feels for you one

 

[]SK[]

I dont mind WWIII I can rocket jump to safety.

One comment ive heard about all this is that its all tragic now its the Americans being hit, but the Americans were quite happy giving the IRA money which was used to bomb the UK.

 

[Wij]

That was mainly a load of dumb socialites (a lot in NY tho) not the government. And I think they may have second thoughts now. Actually support for the IRA has waned in the US quite a bit since they have been refusing to give up a single bullet for the last couple of years despite promising to do so.

byw, nasty news staz.

/me feels for you also
:strokehea
:smileysex
oops, got carried away :/

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

even though some may agree, usa has not been the nicest nation to some countries, completely wiping out one of the most well known buildings in the world is wrong, killing innocent unsuspecting people, i say "NUKE THE BASTARDS" to whoever did this.

 

[~Lazarus~]

Just heard on the news that only 1 of the towers were insured.

Thought being that there would be almost no chance of them both falling at the same time.

All they will get back is $1b instead of $3b

 

[Wij]

yeh, i heard that last night. utter madness :/

Are you really saying nuke the bastards? Do u understand the implications of nuclear war? Change your poorly worded statement.

 

[WPKenny]

I fanyone out there is on a dial up and wants to keep up to date...

http://sdrawkcab.net:8080/

That's a shout cast of the Audio from CNN news channel. Most reliable stream I've found so far..all the rest break up on a regular basis.

Being stuck in an office with only a dial up sucks.

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

no, im sticking with my statement, these people who did this should not go unpunished.

 

[Testin da Cable]

from ananova:
Breaking News: Osama bin Laden is under house arrest, says Afghanistan

hmm seems he's going to be taken out regardless
oh well, good riddance

 

[old.mid_gen]

rofl. That's BS, I doubt the Talaban have a fricking clue where Bin Laden is. He's prolly buried somewhere up in the Afghan mountains. He's not stupid, he will have 'dissapeared' the second the attacks happened, whether or not he did it. They are trying to save their sorry asses.

are you mad?
do you have any idea what happens when a weapons grade nuc' gets deployed? even of the beliefs that get fscked?
I guess not.

I agree the persons who have done this terrible deed must be found and punished. Absolutely. 100% Shoot them, poison them, beat them to death with a stick for all I care.
Just DON"T NUKE THEM! Those weapons are NOT meant to be deployed. They shouldn't even exist. Their very existance sickens me [and with me every sane person on this planet].

 

[Perplex]

No point arguing with children TDC mate. It's always the same whenever outrage is rampant. The kids & rednecks start polishing their guns calling for destruction of the planet. Just remember how lucky we are that these people don't possess the IQ (doffs cap at Cruver et al) to actually make it into a position of power.

Oh....wait a sec....Bush. Hmmm, then again, he has about as much power as a crippled foal. He's a puppet on a string, controlled by the real power-that-be at washington

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

apologies, by me saying nuke them, i should have said, kill them.
Badly worded i know, i just realised this.

 

[~Lazarus~]

Agree with Perp on this (very strange feeling)

Nuclear weapons should never be used in this planet

The scenes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should be recalled by ANYONE who would advocate this use.

There is NO excuse for deploying nuclear weapons.

By all means punish ALL who were responsible for these actions (one person who worked in the same company as me was on one of the planes which hit the towers)

The reaction of certain people to blndly lash out is the last thing we want - it perpretrates the ill feeling which is being witnessed in some of the middle eastern countries.

 

[Will]

DId you hear about that poor Irish guy, who escaped from the WTC, only to hear later that 2 of his relatives were in one of the planes...
I don't think I could ever deal with something like that.

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

NYC and the usa will never be the same again. Damn terrorists

 

[Testin da Cable]

MrCurverUK:
apologies, by me saying nuke them

's ok. glad you came to your senses

Perplex:
The kids & rednecks start polishing their guns

true some of the [american] papers I read were screaming for blood. scary as f00k


I get the feeling though, that the US government is doing the very best they can to do the 'right' thing atm, and that reassures me. I just hope they manage to keep it up. The world as we know it ended on tuesday, things will never be the same.

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

i must admit, i know and i think that a lot of people know that mr bush does like his action, and i do think that leaving to do all he can do is going to result in a disaster.
its scary to think what the usa is capable of

 

[old.mid_gen]

I think you're wrong.

What's needed is some firm action. Everyone's too scared to rock the boat, and now this has happened. It's about time we actually dealt with this problem properly, instead of pretending that 'the odd suicide bomber' is nothing.

Bring back Maggie! She didn't take any shit.
